Prostate cancer is most common among men over the age of forty. In an effort to increase awareness of this disease, The Cancer Treatment Centers of America, The National Football League Alumni Association and LabCorp teamed up to offer free screenings which began in September, and will be extended through October 15th. Two thousand men age 40 an over will receive free screenings once they meet the eligibility requirements. The screening are being performed at one of the 1,750 LabCorp locations throughout the nation. After the first two thousand free screenings, all other Prostate Specific Antigen screenings will be at the reduced cost of only $25.00.

All men are urged to take advantage of this opportunity for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. Also get the peace of mind in knowing that you are cancer free. Signing up before the deadline date allows you to schedule the screening for any time within a six month period. The Cancer Treatment Centers of America have events and entertainment planned at each of their treatment facilities. You can enjoy music, singing and pep talks given by celebrities and NFL players who have experienced cancer up close, with a loved one or themselves.

The Cancer Treatment Centers of America sponsored the kick off press conference along with the NFL Alumni Association and featured medical specialists in cancer treatment, Chief Executive Officers of LabCorp, A U.S. Representative and other strong advocates for cancer. You will witness testimonies from cancer survivors and people who are still battling the disease. The Cancer Treatment Centers of America have locations in Phoenix, Arizona, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Chicago, Illinois, and Atlanta, Georgia. In each location, the city and the residents have opened their hearts in support of this endeavor. The CTCA strongly promotes PSA screenings to detect if you have, or to eliminate the worry of prostate cancer.
